Macro thoughts people? And @MrKleen73 I haven't forgotten about you to get some side by sides

Week 1 of my reverse diet my macros were:

1700 calories =Rest days
106 carbs
130 protein
85 fats

1700 calories =Active days
170 carbs
128 protein
57 fat

I want to go slow. The first week of my reverse I went from 1625kcal --> 1700kcal
This week I was going to add 10g carbs and 2g fats.

How do I do this on my rest days? I kind of want to keep carbs lower. Is 116g of carbs consider low? Should I add more fats in on REST days then instead?

What I was going to do for Week 2:

1760 calories =Rest Days
116g carbs
130g protein
87g fat

1760 calories =Active Days
180g carbs
130g protein
58g fat

"Low carb" depends on your maintenance carb intake. I can get 500 carbs or more on a day where I just eat what I want or don't have access like on vacation.
Low for me is 2 slices of Ezekiel toast with meal 1 then no actual carb sources the rest of the day. But I don't recommend keeping it this low consistently.
For me cycling is much better and allows me to retain more muscle.
1 regular carb day
1 med carb day
1 low
Repeat.

Pretty common Im afraid. Because creating pulls in water it can really bloat you.
Try interval dosing with food.
So say you eat 4 meals. Instead of 5g creatine dose do 1.25g at the end of each meal.

Like Brundel said, low carbs is a relative statement. For someone like Ronnie Coleman 800g of carb a day is low.

Close to 100 at your bodyweight is probably not going to get you near keto or anything but it is low enough to help make the energy switch to a bit more fat burning wince less carbs to be burned throughout the day. If you want to go lower simply remove more carbs and then replace them with healthy fats to make up the calories. Really how low you go depends on how well you do with carbs. If you do well on them then there is no reason to go that low in the first place.

I did not track, but only ate till I was satisfied and full, & wasn't a dumbass and eat till uncomfortable.

I am now up 200 calories a day from when I ended my cut.

I got home that night and right before bedI had a protein ice cream bowl because I was hungry I was suggested to get in protein if you are still hungry because at parties like this you usually don’t get enough protein.

The next morning I weighed in at 118lbs which is the lowest I have ever weighed myself. So I think the “free meal” did my BODY and my MIND well.

Now I only take Radiate for my pre-workout 1/2 scoop and on rest days 1/2 scoop in the morning until I reach maintenance calories just to help with some of that appetite. Even though I am at higher calories I am super hungry lately! I can tell my body is wanting the calories but trying to still not binge.

With the results of the last cheat meal I would say you are probably okay to bump calories another notch... I think you are only bumping 60cals at a time anyway so not very much at all. Remember part of the idea of slowing the radiate was to make eating more a more comfortable thing to do. Now it is more comfortable and your body is definitely making use of the calories so you could bump again and it will probably improve your composition a bit again.

I agree I think I am going to bump before this week ends - currently around 1825 calories a day and weighed in at 118.8lbs this morning.

When you bump calories do you do mostly to carbs then?

My current macros are:
190g carbs
130g protein
60g fat

I think when reverse dieting if your fat is already at an acceptable level and getting adequate protein for growth then all other calories should come from carbohydrates, and you should always increase in your peri workout window first! I would do something like adding in 15-25g of carbs to your intra, or post workout nutrition, and then keep adding there until it becomes uncomfortable in some way, or composition shows you are gaining fat too quickly. Once you become uncomfortable with filling in that timeframe with carbs move the the next meal after your post workout and add carbs there. Gradually working your way out from the periworkout nutrition to the meals following then finally to the meals before.
